LONDON Oct. 13-The verdict of the Mitch
elstown inquest is a great blow to the govern
ment. whose only course now is to try and hush
up matters by quietly seeking to avoid any
issue This course they are already pursuing
by their removal from Mitchelstown of the po-
lice especially mentioned as guilty, and for
whom warrants OF arrest have been issued.
This secretion of the indicted police is stigma
tized as puerile, and exhibits the cowardly man
ner in which Irish affairs have been conducted
all along. It is stated that warning came from
Dublin Castle to the coroners officer to arrest
the indicted police at his peril, and conveying
an implied threat to him if he did so.
But this is idle. The government may
be assured that if the police can
be found the warrants will be served upon them
and tine guilty men at least arraigned. What
ever may be the outcome. the ruling minds of
Dublin Castle will be in bad situation, and
will look very pretty in the eyes of the world.
IF the men who were their agents, and who rep
resented them, are arraigned for murder and
convicted, it will mean the eliminating failure
for the government and coercion will have to be
abandoned on account of the blunders of its
ministers. On the other hand, and, what is far
more likely to happen in case the police are ar
rested, is a refusal on the part of the govern
ment to prosecute them. This course would
subject the government to the renewed disappre-
baton of the people in general, for the coroner's
action is legal, despite the vagaries Of the In
quest.
The United Ireland reasserts that the telegram
sent by Solicitor General o Brien to the crown
counsel is genuine. and also states that Captain
PlunkeIt. fearing arrest or attack, has fled the
country. The latter statement however, is
! doubted
The inspector-general of constables has issued
an order suspending the execution of the
oners warrant for the arrest of Inspector
Brownrigg and Others against whom verdict
of murder was rendered at Mitchslstown yester
day, pending an appeal to quash the finding of
the jury.
